  10. Medication access: nurse or tech?

    nursinadream posted a topic in Operating Room

    I'm wondering how many of my OR coworkers share medication access (pyxis or other)? Just RNs or both RNs and techs? At my current assignment the surgical techs have been given access and...

  11. Orientation period- strange requirements, is this legal?

    nursinadream replied to NurseRies's topic in Travel

    nursinadream replied to rntraveler2012's topic in Travel

    nursinadream replied to Gypsy_Nurse's topic in Travel
